This direction has closed and a direction issued by the Department for Education (DfE) on 17 December 2019 replaces it.
This direction requires the council to take steps to improve its children’s social care services, including cooperating with the DfE-appointed Children’s Services Commissioner, John Coughlan.
It follows a report by Ofsted that judged the overall effectiveness of the council’s children’s social care services to be inadequate.
